well, i don't know how i did it, but i convinced/tricked/conned/or maybe she just loves me! either way, I asked Elyse to marry me last night and she said YES!!!
We started off the evening at Texas Roadhouse, which is where we had our first date. It was a nice dinner, i was trying to throw her off the track by telling her we should go ring shopping sometime next week :D
after dinner we went out to Tempe Town Lake and rented a paddle boat. We boated around out on the lake for a while as the sun was starting to set. I had also wrapped a wooden picture frame that said 'love' in wooden letters down the side with 3 picture openings. i put 2 pictures of us together and a letter that i had i written to her that at the end said 'baby, will you marry me?' while we were out on the lake i had her open the present, and then as she was reading the letter i pulled out the ring (which i had sneakily hidden in my camera case) and precariously got down on one knee, especially careful not to tip the boat, which probably would have ruined the 'mood.'
i told her i loved her and couldn't imagine life without her and asked her to marry me. SHE SAID YES (obviously, cause i probably wouldn't blog about asking her to marry me and her turning me down, or pushing me into the water or something like that)!!
I love Elyse so much and feel like the luckiest man alive!!!
The wedding is going to be here in Arizona on Jan 24th in the Mesa Temple. I'd love for you all to come, so calendar it in if you can!
